BACK AT IT SEPTEMBER 2021
So I've signed up to a charity challenge and I am back at C25K again, I'm in pi55 poor shape and 20kg heavier than last time, what could go wrong?! 😂
Anyone started July 2020
I've just started week 1 day 1 today and was wondering if anyone else started this month.
How are you getting on with C25K?
I've just completed Day 1 of Week 2 this evening, I'm finding it ok so far, nervous (but also excited) about the later weeks when there are longer intervals of running. I'm doing reasonably well at pacing myself so far so it'll be interesting to see if I can modify it for longer stints.
Couldn't even do the first run!
So, me and my other half tried couch to 5K the other week as something that we could do together. My partner is quite fit as he has an active job however moi (the desk jockey) was absolutely HOPELESS. So there he was trotting away while I couldn't even finish the 1 minute runs. We had a bit of a laugh and a joke about it…
Starting over
I had finished both programmes before Xmas but then holidays etc happened and I seemed to run out of steam completely. I've still been running but not managed more than 10 minute intervals with breaks in between, so I've decided I'm going to go right back to the start and follow the entire 10k programme over again,…
Favorite Songs for Running?

For those of you who have completed the 5k program.....
Compression Socks - anyone using them and have they helped with recovery/bloodflow?
I have noticed some of my veins starting to get a bit noticeable - not quite enough that I think they are varicose but don't want to get to the point where they go that way. I've ordered some compression socks but will have to wait and see if they fit my calves as they are quite wide. Is anyone else using them for either…
Strava
Is anyone else using Strava? I started using Strava in wk 7, and run it alongside the C25K app on my phone (I run the warm up and cool down). I have found that it more accurately logs distance vs time, and gives you an average pace for your run as well as a pace per km. It also records elevation and interval times. So…
